Northwestern will be providing married student housing for the 2018-2019 academic year. At least one of the Courtyard Village Apartment buildings will be reserved for married students on a first-come first-serve basis. The apartments will be partially furnished, one bedroom apartments equipped with some furniture (coffee tables, chest of drawers, kitchen table and chairs) and appliances (refrigerator and stove). Renters will need to provide their own bed (no waterbeds allowed).

Any student who is married or who will be married during the 2018-19 academic year qualifies for married housing.*

Rent will be $500 per month and deposit in the amount of the first month’s rent will be required when signing the lease and should be turned in to the Student Life Office. (This deposit will be refunded upon vacating the unit provided there are no damages, excessive wear, the key is turned in, the unit is clean and the rent is current.) The rent includes utilities (electricity, heat, wireless internet, water & sewer).

Students and their spouses will be given the option to select a meal plan but this will not be required. Married students will also have the option of choosing a 50 Block plan in addition to the other meal plans offered. This plan offers 50 meals per semester for $485 to be used in the cafeteria any time throughout each semester. Unlike the per week plans, these meals do not expire on a weekly basis and may be shared with friends and family until the end of the semester. This plan does not allow meal exchanges and does not have flex money. This plan is only available to married students living on campus.

It is not necessary for your spouse to be a NWC student. Students will be able to rent the apartment through the summer as long as one person is a registered NWC student.

Married students are expected to abide by the policies as stated in the Northwestern College Student Handbook.

*Married students are expected to abide by the policies as stated in the Northwestern College Student Handbook. The college defines marriage as a covenant between a man and a woman and contends that all sexual intimacy shall be within the bounds of such marriage. For the full policy, see the Sexual Activity policy in the Northwestern College Student Handbook.

O-Staff Leaders assist with the planning and implementation of Welcome Weekend activities. They are an important part of making sure new students transition well to Northwestern College and feel welcomed into this community. This is a great way to meet other students and be part of a fun and energetic team! We hope you will consider serving as an O-staff leader!

To apply please complete the following application and turn it into Darla in the Student Life Office by March 2nd.
